What is Peer Code Review?

Peer code review is an application that allows users to request code reviews from people who have more experience in specific programming languages than them. Users can create an account, set their experience, upload code to be reviewed using our rich text editor, purchase credits to get more reviews, view the profiles of other users, and get notifications when they have a new review or when they get assigned code to review.
